Her grandfather, Mustafa Fevzi Bozer (1857-1953), was president of the Court of Cassation in 1950-1952. She is the wife of economist Asaf Savaş Akat and sister of Celal Göle (1948-), dean of the Faculty of Political Science at Ankara University from 1993 to 2012.

A graduate of the Technical University of the Middle East, she presented her doctoral thesis in 1982 at EHESS in Paris under the supervision of Alain Touraine, under the title Engineers in Turkey: revolutionary avant-garde or modernizing elite. She was a professor at Istanbul Bosphorus University from 1986 to 2001.
Göle is the author of Interpénétrations: L’Islam et l’Europe and The Forbidden Modern: Civilization and Veiling.[1] Through personal interviews, Göle has developed detailed case studies of young Turkish women who are turning to the tenets of fundamental Islamic gender codes. Her sociological approach, which is underpinned with Socialist and Marxist ideology, has also produced a broader critique of Eurocentrism with regard to emerging Islamic identities at the close of the twentieth century. She has explored the specific topic of covering, as well as the complexities of living in a multicultural world.[2]
